Epilepsy charity delights in top award for Earl Howe
Earl Howe has championed the cause of people with epilepsy for 25 years and last week his work for Epilepsy Society (formerly The National Society for Epilepsy or 'NSE'), was recognised with a top award.
Westminster played host to the 7th DODS Charity Champion Awards in which Members of Parliament are voted for by other Parliamentarians in recognition of their consistent hard work, commitment and achievement of behalf of voluntary causes and issues.
Earl Howe, the President of Epilepsy Society was nominated by the charity in the health champion category and was delighted to win the award. He also chairs the All Party Parliamentary Group on Epilepsy.
He said: “I’m very proud of my involvement with Epilepsy Society. It’s a wonderful organisation. For many years epilepsy was an unsung condition but it has recently come out of the shadows, not least thanks to Epilepsy Society's work in pioneering diagnostic techniques and its state-of-the-art research.”
Bridget Gardiner, Epilepsy Society's director of fundraising and marketing, said: “Earl Howe is a deserved winner of this award. We are privileged to have him as our president and thank him for his loyal support and hard work during the last 25 years.”
